Yes they are definitely not found on the census. I’m noticing a pattern that many of those of African descent did not bother to register their children. I am wondering if potentially there was a fee that had to be paid to register and that might be why many of us cannot find African ancestors.

I have enjoyed all your past blog posts. This one sucked me in just as easy. I’m sure you may have tried already but have you checked the only PR slave census for them? I found my enslaved ancestors on there by last name of Pavellon, now spelled Pabellon. Why they were recorded with a surname, I don’t know. But it’s been so helpful & I am so grateful.
